This Demonstration displays a program that can generate artistically appealing images. The basic elements are two formulas for curves that are mutually interconvertible using the control "misch" (meaning mix). Further variations in the images can be achieved by adjusting the other controls.

The Wolfram Demonstrations Project can be used to your advantage to produce graphics that can be considered works of art—images both kinetic and interactive. Mathematica's programming capability enables pixels to be organized by specified rules for aesthetic appeal, including symmetry, homothety (conformal transformations), and continuity. The Demonstrations can themselves be considered as completed works of art, but can also serve as raw material for further experimentation. They have proven themselves to be useful in scientific investigations in the field of aesthetics. Also, in the classroom, they are suitable for mathematical visualizations and experiments. The images produced using digital technology are a significant contribution to currently popular attempts to make quantitative connections between Science and Art.
